Anyone with experience bolting
Anyone with experience bolting prop shaft to vee drive coupling on a Paragon PV series.
The coupling on the vee drive is threaded and I can't tell if it is coarse or fine thread. Can't get a tap in to test it. Fine thread bolts start but won't go in far. Coarse thread bolts go in farther with encouragement from a wrench but won't go all the way through.
Questions
1) Is the thread in these couplings usually coarse or fine thread?
2) Are bolts supposed to go all the way through and then have nuts attached or are they to "bottom out" in the coupling and not go all the way through?
Thanks
